I realize that my comments are a little late, but Andy was a dear friend who will be missed by all who knew him. Andy was a musician, a craftsman, and an all around nice guy. Even though the "Steel Guitfiddle" was my brainchild, I took Andy some drawings and two weeks later he predented me with a fully completed Guitfiddle to play.I still have it and still treasure it for the loving craftsmanship that he put into it. Did I mention that the Guitfiddle still has an awesome tone. Rest in peace old friend, you did well.

I just found out Andy Has Passed on from this life. I met him and bought several pics from him in Dallas 2010 and missed him this year. What a dear soul. Maybe he can Coat a few for Helms & Day now.
God Bless your soul Andy, I think though he already has. :(
